Osprey at Terrapin Nature Park

It looked like a promising morning despite the weatherman’s predictions of rain, so I headed for Terrapin, where I haven’t been lately. I was surprised to find that the Bay Bridge toll has been increased to $6.00, which was annoying.
I was also surprised to find two of the main paths at Terrapin blocked by downed trees. I assume they’ll fix that soon.
It was very humid, and buggy, and birds were in short supply. I watched the Terns fishing in the marsh pond for a while, then headed home early.

Rabbit

This young rabbit was almost totally unafraid.


Common Tern

Several Common Terns were fishing, but they didn’t often come close enough for a decent picture.

Osprey

I watched this Osprey catch this large fish, then he flew by so closely that he didn’t quite fit in the frame.

This Red Winged Blackbird landed in a tree right next to me.
